Prepare iOS Device for Development

My blog series will demonstrate how easy it is to develop mobile apps x-platform using Qt 5.6+. So maybe you’re experienced with BlackBerry 10 or Android but not iOS.

Here are some hints HowTo prepare you iOS Device for development. (Want to know HowTo prepare an Android Device like BlackBerry PRIV ? see here)

Open Xcode –> Settings –> Accounts to add an account using your Apple ID. If you don’t have an ID create it here.

Then you can add the Account and create a Development Team:

Click on ‘View Details’ from your Account. Now you can create your Developer Certificates: click on ‘Create’ for iOS Development and Distribution. You don’t need a membership if you only want to test your APP on a real device. This changed with Xcode 7.

The easiest way to test if all works: Create a new project and build it. There will be an error and a Button ‘Fix Issue’:

Select the Development Team

Attach your iOS Device to your Mac so Xcode can identify the device:

Now you’re done – that’s all you need to deploy Qt APPs to your iPhone.
